I'm Vlad Levine. I shoot events, make videos, and document what matters to NYC businesses—without the agency mystique or mystery pricing.
That's the elevator pitch. Here's the actual story.
How I Got Here
I used to run a physical photography studio in Dallas. Award-winning space. Full production setup. The kind of place where creatives would rent the space and shoot fashion editorials.
It was exactly what I thought I wanted—until I realized I was managing a location instead of creating work.
What Changed
Sold the space. Moved to NYC. Started focusing on what I'm actually good at: showing up, capturing what needs to be captured, and delivering it without the runaround.
Now I work with corporate clients, nonprofits, and businesses who need professional visual content but don't want to deal with production company bureaucracy.
Why Core Visuals NYC Exists
Most NYC photography services are either massive production companies with three-week turnarounds and budget-committee pricing, or solo freelancers with inconsistent quality and outdated websites.
Core Visuals NYC is the middle ground.
You work directly with me. You get transparent pricing before you commit. You get professional results delivered on the timeline we agreed to.
No account managers. No "discovery calls to explore possibilities." No surprise invoices.
What You're Getting
Clear Communication
I respond to emails. I show up early. I deliver when I say I will.
Transparent Pricing
Fixed packages. No hourly rates. No "depends on what you need" vagueness.
Professional Results
High-quality work without the creative director monologue about my "vision" for your quarterly conference.
Range
I've shot art galleries and corporate boards, nonprofit fundraisers and tech launches, podcasts and keynotes. I adapt without hand-holding.
What I'm Working On
Right now: event coverage for NYC corporate clients (tech, finance, nonprofit), brand videos for companies who need testimonials and culture content, and ongoing partnerships with organizations who need regular visual content.
I also still do select art documentation—gallery photography, exhibition coverage, artist portfolios—because that's where I started and I'm not abandoning it.
Let's Work Together
If you need event coverage, brand video, or corporate photography in NYC—and you value straightforward communication over creative mystique—send me a message.
